By that measure, Obama was the clear winner. He was centered where McCain was scattered. Forceful where McCain was forced. Presidential where McCain was petulant. Read More

No one knows if bombs William Ayers built actually killed anyone. Likewise, no one knows whether the bombs John McCain dropped on North Vietnam ever killed anyone -- though given the 23 bombing runs he flew, the odds are for it.
